Most Dota Auto Chess fans who switch to Valve’s game have a rather negative view of Dragon Alliance in Dota Underlords. Dragon currently only has three heroes and synergy remains the same. The only difference is that Dragon has an extra tier 3 item to buff their damage.
However, in the spirit of active listening, the Dota Underlords team has responded to players regarding the Dragon Alliance issue along with other items that will be changed.

Alliance Rework:
Dragon
Dragon Alliance will now be activated when there are two different pieces on the board and each of the three current Dragons in the game will gain a second move as follows:
Puck: Dragon Alliance now unlocks Phase Shift
Viper: Dragon ALliance now unlocks Corrosive Skin
Dragon Knight is more reworked, instead of turning into a dragon when full of mana, this hero will have the basic ability Breathe Fire. Dragon form is only activated in Dragon Alliance.
Scrappy
The other Alliance to be reworked is Scrappy. Scrappy Alliance now grants 8 armor and restores 9 health. This number also doubles if your starting army is smaller than your opponent’s.
Knight
Knight Alliance: Now reduces damage taken by 15/25/35% and adds 20/25/30% when standing next to another knight.
Other important changes
Pocket Sand: Assassin Alliance item now changed from “Assassins blind enemies 1 cell away from where they land for 2 seconds (50% miss chance)” (Assassins makes enemies 1 cell have a 50% chance to miss for 2 seconds) to a slow Program to gain 50% more mana when taking damage and debuff a random enemy within 2 cells if there are no units in 1 next tile to assassinate.
Desperate Measure: Tier 5 global item changed to “Your troops take +1% Damage for every 5 damage your Underlord takes, to “Increase mana gain when dealing/taking damage equal to the amount of damage.”
Wicked Intent: The Heartless Alliance item now also blocks healing, in addition to reducing your opponent’s health by 25% for each Heartless piece you have.
New items
Boots of Speed now changed to Tranquil Boots with passive +16 health regen and 100% movement speed
Pipe of Insight: +50% Magic Resistance. When the first opponent has 100% mana, add a shield that blocks 400 magic damage to allies 1 cell away (once per battle).
